The dust from the 24-hour Dragon Age: Origins Warden's Quest tournament has begun to settle, and the sleep-deprived, blood-soaked winner has been declared: The team representing the nation of Hungary. The Hungarians trailed in the rankings until the fourth round of the contest, when they rallied to pass the BioWare Community team (who finished in second place). We guess you could say they were just Hungarier for victory than everyone else.
America, however, must have only been slightly peckish, ending up with a disappointing ninth place (or next-to-last place) finish, and getting eliminated in the third round of the competition. This might be a small blow to our egos, but hey -- at least we're still better at dragon slaying than the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Booyah!

In the interest of full disclosure, I meant doing nothing as in the type of sitting around on the couch... not as in the type of doing nothing and not getting involved in others' business... We're the worst at doing nothing when it comes to the later.

Ok, you laid on the obligatory "America sucks" comment. Truly, you should feel special. You're brilliant political analysis and sharpest of wits have made Joystiq a better place.

I'm pretty sure he's American...which means he can say what ever he wants...
Also, that wouldn't be a political analysis; it would be a societal analysis.

It was also sarcasm. The point was that his comment was wholly out of place.

Some of the footage from this event has been insanely good, definitely spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate material.

From what I watched in these two videos, no story spoilers from what I can tell, pretty much pure combat and item management.
